Hillston Ivanhoe

Hillston and Ivanhoe (L) are two New South Wales towns with very different profiles. Hillston has a much larger population and a higher share of people born overseas (20.8%) and those using another language at home (16.9%). In contrast, Ivanhoe (L) has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 34.0% and a higher share of people in de facto relationships (28.0%). Education and work also differ, with Year 12 completion far higher in Hillston (38.8%) and a much larger share of adults working or looking for work (60.1%).

Since 2011, many of these gaps have shifted or flipped, such as the shares of overseas-born residents and people in de facto relationships. Despite these changing trends, the two towns remain alike in some ways, with similar proportions of people aged 65 and over (around 18%) and similar rates of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (about 12%).
